RE: User Authority, Resteems and the Drop-off. Stop your friends from trying steemit.
I am about a month here now, and I have received support from existing members and I am grateful. Some have even offered to help me reach my goal of having 500sp by December. I do know this support will not last forever, so I try my best to put my best step forward, share my experiences and thought and hope I engage users the right way. I have a relatively small following so I compensate by being active on the blockchain--commenting most especially because that's the only thing of value I have to give, a my steem power is worth nothing at the moment.
I also hope to get to the stage where I can also help new users as well. And yes I do agree that top steemians cannot follow up all redfishes to the end, but if they can help get them to the middle-class stage (to become minnows) in can ease their burden, where by minnow support in ushering new arrives into the fold.
Something like helping the helpers.
I try to help new users who roll out amazing contents, but are getting discouraged because of low support. I support them until they attain reasonable amount of reputation.
I think reputation is one and Sp is another. One needs about 500sp be become a minnow. My reputation is currently 47.9 and my S.P is 18. Now yes it looks like I am doing well, but I cannot support new users because my upvote is worth nothing. My believe is that if we have more people who are serious about steemit having greatee sp they will have distribute the wealth of the platform, even more effeciently.
Can you suggest how whales can support new users?
I think if we can have significant number of minnows then that will cease the burden of the whales. that will entail following the dedicated redfishes up until the reach a stage where they can also help other new users. in my opinion, this can be achieved through upvotes (obviously), delegating SP and resteeming.
We have not discussed the power of resteeming that much on steemit, I think I will talk more about that in my next books
Okay. You writing books about steemit?
No. Just random posts on my thoughts about the blockchain. You can find some on my page
Cool
